Membership at the Immanuel Baptist Church begins with accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. We believe strongly in the Letter to the Romans which says "That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved" (10:9).
In order to obtain full membership to the Immanuel Baptist Church, you must complete the following steps:
1. Publicly join our congregation during Sunday Morning Worship at 9:30 AM. This public acknowledgment can be confirmed through Baptism, Christian Experience or by Letter of Transfer.
2. New Member Classes. Membership at the Immanuel Baptist Church begins with accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. We believe strongly in the Letter to the Romans which says “That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (10:9). Once a person has accepted Jesus Christ, the next step is to complete the four required New Member Orientation classes. The classes are offered every 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Sunday in the Deacons’ Room at 8:30 A.M. as follows:
